What does Mengütekin mean?
Eternal prince
In Turkish: ebedî prens
Mengütekin combines the idea of permanence with an old Turkic princely title. In this interpretation, tekin refers to tegin rather than the modern Turkish adjective meaning safe. It is related to Mengü and Tekin, but an association with a particular historical ruler requires separate evidence.
In names such as Alptekin, Aytekin and Tuğtekin, tekin is linked to the Old Turkic title tigin, meaning “prince.” More boy names ending in -tekin →
